By CHUCKIE MAGGIO St. Bonaventure, long comfortable in the role of the “hunter” and only recently becoming a “hunted” team with a target on its back, is again playing spoiler- and just fine with that designation.

Bonnies start home-and-home with surging Collins, Saint Louis
By CHUCKIE MAGGIO The rest of the Atlantic 10 has as much right to be upset about Yuri Collins’s Cousy Award watch list snub as Collins himself.

Bonnies suffer another disappointment, Burton dominates in Richmond win at Robins Center
By CHUCKIE MAGGIO It was the same refrain for St. Bonaventure on Friday night. The Bonnies began their nationally-televised bout with Richmond haphazardly, as they often have on the road, committing three turnovers over the first four minutes and surrendering an early 7-2 deficit.
